When I think of an AR pistol I think they should be like this one without the Buffer tube. Is there a reason why the majority of pistol AR have a tube. I want to start building one but not sure which route to go. I think the SIG P556 Swat just looks so sexy.

I have a AR Pistol 223/5.56. I love the thing. It's a great machine once I got it tuned. But I like this. No tube and small cheap ammo for close range??? Nice! I like it. Is it barrel heavy? Mine has a 7 1/2" bull barrel and it's heavy. even with the buffer tube to counter balance it. I found a lighter barrel, but I'm not going to blow more $$ on this. It's basically a fun toy that shoots great.

Now I'm starting to get a few ideas about building a light weight animal after seeing this.

While that is a neat looking pistol, good luck holding it steady to aim with all that weight out there. I prefer a buffer tube with a foam cover to hold tight under my cheek bone. I can keep it on a 6" target at 100 yards all day long with my Eotech without magnifier.

There is a gas port (slightly too small), the lack of barrel threads is for a ~secret project.

edit:

I didn't buy because I enjoy the challenge of building and very few people make .458 SOCOM side charger pistol uppers with gas piston systems. If I ordered that from Tepon Jutsu I probably would have paid well over $2,000 instead of about $1,400 in parts.

Also because the lower is home made by me, it's 100% paperless which is 100% legal.

If you build one yourself, go with a muzzle brake that directs only sideways. I started with what AA calls the "Millenium" brake, which while more effective than the one I have on now (and cooler looking), directs way too much blast back into your own face with the little 12" barrel. Oops! Gave me a headache shooting it like that. Probably makes way more sense out past 20".

Oh and when I take it to a public range I always warn everyone several lanes in either direction

Yep that was the point! 10 rounds is the "normal" capacity for this caliber, so nothing really neutered for CA. Plus I'm only aware of maybe 2 other .50 Beowulf AR pistols out there anywhere in the US, so I was able to do something pretty unique with my first 80% lower build.
